It's actually quite ironic that Wilders tries to draw parallels between Islam and fascism, and between the Quran and Mein Kampf, since he seems to be using what is essentially the Nazi party playbook for propaganda and support: demonizing a particular group, and labelling it responsible for all the ills of his society.
Mind you, violent Muslims like the ones who attacked Jami, or the Islamist who mudered the Dutch film director Theo van Gogh, aren't helping the image of Islam in the Netherlands or Europe either.

Al Quaeda blasphemers and all other Islamo-fascists are to Islam, what the KKK is to Christianity.
